I finally could connect and adopt 2 UAP-AC-Pro’s to my UniFi Network console (installed on a debian virtual machine).
Networks and VLANs are configured and working OK.
However, the console shows that both APs can be upgraded (from 6.2.49.14111 to 6.5.28.14491). I try to do it. The console informs for a while that they are updating, but when they come online again, it still offers the update as if nothing had happened.
These are screenshots taken before/during/after the update:
Note: The network where the APs get their IP (172.27.193.0/24) don’t have access to internet. However, the console is on a server that has an interface on 172.27.193.0/24 and another one on a network that does have access to internet (on the same network that I connect to it via web).
If you want to have the APs pull the image from the controller, you first have to go into the controller settings page, and “cache” the update file. Otherwise they will be told to download it directly from the internet.
Is there a way to automate the periodic caching of the device firmware images?
I’m using the new UI and I pressed the “Cache” link so the current update is shown as cached. However, whenever the next update comes out, can it be automatically cached in the controller?
If that doesn’t help, two other things to try are:
1 - Restart the APs from the controller and then try upgrading again (I’ve had to do this on occasion with a number of random UniFi devices)
2 - Download the firmware .bin file from ui.com, SCP it over to the AP, placing and naming it where the UniFi support article tells you, SSH into the AP and manually upgrade from the CLI.
